"Sigbjorn Finne"
Yes, that's true at the moment, but it's something that we expect to fix shortly. More precisely, Sigbjorn has been working on a fix. It relies on using an OS thread to make a potentially-blocking call, so it's a robust fix.
Modulo settling a couple of minor implementation details, I'd say it's done. To try it out, check out the fptools/ CVS sources, and configure & build it with the option --enable-threaded-rts
Ahem - how far would this be from a "real" multithreaded implementation, i.e. one that could use a few OS threads to take advantage of multiple CPUs in an SMP system? -kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
